I love holidays<\/strong>! \u00a0It’s a good thing that I’m a Kindergarten teacher, because we celebrate every holiday that we possibly can! \u00a0Except right now . . . I’m on Spring Break. \u00a0I’m not complaining (I LOVE<\/strong> my breaks . . . baking everyday!), I’m just simply saying, “Sorry world, instead of celebrating with 22, five year olds, I have to send my happy holiday baking creations out to everyone!!<\/em>”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As it turns out, it’s a good thing that I’m a cupcake baker too, as I can celebrate every possible holiday as a baker too!<\/p>\n

I’ve been working on a new flavour over the last couple of weeks . . . Salted Caramel<\/strong>! \u00a0It’s a vanilla cupcake base, filled with dulce de leche, and topped with caramel buttercream and pink himalayan salt.<\/em><\/p>\n

It. Is. So. Good. \u00a0I can’t express that enough.<\/p>\n

When I first tasted the icing with the salt on top . . . oh god, it was ‘O’<\/strong> worthy (if you know what I mean!)<\/em><\/p>\n

For St Patricks Day, I’m calling these “Pot o’ Gold”<\/strong>. \u00a0They are definitely what I<\/strong> would want to find at the end of a rainbow!<\/p>\n

I have also spent the last couple of months perfecting a fan favourite . . . the\u00a0Irish Car Bomb cupcake!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not a Guinness, or a Whiskey fan and this cupcake has both in it, but upon first bite, I knew it would be with me forever.<\/p>\n

In case you missed my first post back in November 2010, the Irish Car Bomb<\/strong> is a Chocolate Guinness cake, filled with Whiskey Ganache, and topped with Bailey’s Buttercream<\/em>! \u00a0YUM!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here it is dressed up for it’s Nation’s special day \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0March 17, 2011.<\/p>\n

To finish up my St Patricks Day celebrating<\/strong>, I made a special order holiday cake!<\/p>\n

You guessed it, fan favourite Irish Car Bomb<\/strong> is the cake inside!<\/p>\n
